This is something interesting I found while searching online. It's similar to Space Camp but will cater specifically to college students and adults. What they offer will be extremly similar to what we've all done at Space Camp, but one of the programs will prepare trainees for actual sub-orbital flights (in connection with Space Adventures I think). That program is $5000 and ends with a drawing for a free sub-orbital flight. The other programs cost about what ASA or Camp cost now. Check it out! http://www.spaceflight-training.com/index.html

Not to get too off topic, but it's a spinoff of a company that was founded by Pete Conrad....who died while I was at ASA a few years ago...that can't be a good sign!

What's not a good sign....that he died while you were at ASA, or that it's something he started?

When Pete Conrad died our space museum placed a wreath with his name and birth and death year right in front of the apollo 12 command module he commanded that we have in the museum. Unfortunately he is the only Apollo 12 crew member i never met.
